Akustica President and Chief Executive Officer Stefan Finkbeiner will present the company's 4th-generation microphone and its first new product since Akustica joined the Bosch Group in 2009.

The Globalpress Electronics Summit is the annual gathering of electronics trade and business journalists who travel to Northern California from around the world to meet with top-ranked US electronics executives. Akustica will be on hand for the Summit's "MEMS Day," to be hosted by Alissa M. Fitzgerald, PhD, board member of MEMS Industry Group.

Dr. Finkbeiner, who holds a PhD in solid-state physics from the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, was appointed to his current post in 2009 after more than 20 years of engineering, manufacturing and marketing high-volume, high-quality sensors at Robert Bosch GmbH in Germany.
